Beijing Dajue Temple

👉Beijing Dajue Temple, also known as Xishan Dajue Temple, is located at the foot of Yantái Mountain in Haidian District, Beijing. It is a Buddhist temple with a long history.

🌈Dajue Temple was first built in 1068, the fourth year of the Xian'yong era of the Liáo Dynasty, and was originally named "Qingshui Monastery." It was rebuilt during the Jin Dynasty and renamed "Lingquan Temple." In 1428, the third year of the Xuāndé era of the Ming Dynasty, it was renovated again and renamed "Dajue Temple." During the reigns of Kāngxī and Qiánlóng in the Qing Dynasty, Dajue Temple underwent several expansions and renovations, making it even grander in scale.

📍The scenery here is quite nice, worth a visit. There are many ancient trees, which are very beautiful.
